Thanks. I needed a laugh this afternoon. :)

Better than expected Yes! I did all of 5 straight leg push ups today! Was working on the 1RM tests and just for fun tried the push ups. Okay, I had to finish my goal of 12 total on my knees, but I did do 5.

Totally agree. Scale is up today, I know its the cheese I love to eat on these cold winter days, comfort food. But I don't know how to get myself moving to burn the calories like I can in the summer. Dusting just doesn't work!

Avatar For me this is a HUGE success! I actually created an Avatar today. I'm not good with this computer stuff so it took a while, and a few errors, but HEY! there it is!! That's my precious Lark dog guarding a squirrel in her maple tree. Makes up for only doing 2 straight leg push ups...

I did the 5 & 4 star exercises this past week I made that my workout for my weights days (MWF). Just kept alternating muscle groups so I felt I had a total body workout. Quit after 60-70 minutes. It got harder as the minutes passed, but that's true with any workout. I chose weights heavier...

STS-ouch I'm so excited, and so scared! This is going to be great. You all have done a wonderful job and I'm ready to be pushed to beyond my previously conceived limits. And those limits have been pushed every day since starting Cathe workouts. The "ouch" is my backside from the 1RM tests...

data returned I don't know how to "hit refresh". I do always check to be sure I'm "logged in". I have quit "logging out" unless I'm going to be out of town for any length of time. Anyway, I am happy to report ALL the data I had entered was there the next day and I am now continuing to...

I hope you're right! If it weren't near zero degrees outside and the middle of winter, I wouldn't even consider trying to ever re-enter all that info I did yesterday! Come summer, I'll just do my workouts and then WORK outside, it won't matter my 1RM--okay, I admit, I'll care. But I'll be...

Good for you, stepitup! Low impact works; but you know, sometimes it just feels good to do a real jumping jack :D We just need to be careful how we land!

I spent over an hour yesterday updating my info in the Workout Manager but today I see absolutely nothing was actually saved. Sure am glad I've kept a written record of my workouts and 1RMs! Is this just a glitch as you transition or have I messed up and wasted my time?

Ouch!!! Twas not possible yesterday doing those 1RMs. Maybe if I lowered the weight 5-10 lbs. :D

Hi, stepitup! Not Cathe, sorry, but I read your post with interest. I have osteoporosis and sometimes (!) have to back off the high intensity/step cardio, which I love (and my doctor approves of), because a hip or knee or ankle will start to hurt. Backed off 3 months one time and sure missed...

Thanks, good theory :D, but not in my case. I was never blessed with human children--only dogs. Yes, Lark is my dog. I rarely carry her. At least it sounds like it could be normal for a person to be stronger on one side or the other, I'm grateful. Should I ignore the difference?

I agree totally, lina9496. I've only been testing the 4 & 5 star rated exercises from the Chart, so far, VERY tough. I'm not really sorry STS is delayed, besides I'm enjoying the anticipation!

Is this normal? When doing 1RM tests today for upper body I found I could do at least 4 more reps on the left side than right side (I'm right-handed). I wrote down the 1RM for the different sides but only "saved" the weaker side. Should I work on getting the right side stronger to match the...

WOW! I just watched the YouTube clip of Cathe TV, one arm row. Fantastic. What an amazing project. Thank you, Cathe!!!

My calendar arrived Friday and it IS gorgeous. It inspires and frightens me at the same time--will I be able to do STS? "Yes, you can!" Thanks, Cathe!

Thank you, teddy16410! I really needed that info. I think I'll go back and delete all the 1RMs I entered (not many yet) and start all over. I'd quit doing them because it just didn't make sense to me.

Thank You!!! I leave tomorrow, 3,000 miles of road time, and lots of work in between. I'm taking 3 Cathe DVDs along: Kick Max, Kick Punch and Crunch, and Butts & Guts. No weights, just the resistance band and lots of determination. I needed the encouragement you sent--thanks, again.

I've been off line for a while--hurricane IKE knocked out power in OHIO-yes, Ohio. I am so happy to know STS may be released by Christmas! I'll be in need of a gift to myself. I was afraid it would come in October and I'd have to ignore it: I'll be moving my mom from Michigan to Arkansas...
